Easy Halloween Craft Idea for Kids - Glitter glue spider web window clings

Supplies:

white glue (will not work with glue sticks; not sure on gel glue)
glitter
waxed paper

Instructions:

On the waxy side of the wax paper, allow child to "draw" a spider web of his or her own design. Then he or she sprinkles glitter over the web. Allow to dry. Depending on the amount of glue used, the web may take as much as 72 hours to dry. Peel off of the paper carefully and affix to mirrors or windows (on the shady side of the house!)

Peel off. What does not come off will wash off with dishsoap and warm water. (Tip: Ivory cleans glass to a streak-free shine!)

For a variation, you could also use several containers of white glue (come on, it's 2 for $1!) and dye them with food coloring, and have a rainbow of spider webs. I have not actually tried this idea - it just now popped into my head - so I can not give an idea of the cleanup with the food coloring.
